We went golfing yesterday at Metropolitan Golf Links. It's a nice course with very few trees, a links style course. It's my home course. Well, technically the Chuck Corica Complex is a mile closer to my house, but Metro is where I go when I golf close to home.

I got a handful of OK golf shots. I threw most out, though. I was struggling with focus. I guess this is the first time I've taken this camera on a golf outing.

The highlight for me was our encounter with a red fox. We first saw him from a distance on the ninth fairway. He walked right up to us as we finished the tenth hole and sat down in front of the eleventh tee box forcing us to wait until he moved on. I'm saying he but it could have just as easily been a lovely lady fox.
I was hoping for a wildlife sighting on this round. It's not unusual to see critters on the course during late afternoon rounds. I was hoping for a skunk sighting. They're a lot more common out there, at least in my experience. This is the second time I've seen a fox on the course. I've also seen a few while playing Monarch Bay in San Leandro. Sam says they're common at Chuck Corica, he worked there a while so he should know.

How'd the round go, you ask? Sam had low score, of course. Seems like he always does. Jim and Joe tied for second, I think. Me? Ha. I got some nice pictures of a fox.
